This!

Bait monkey got me last year when I was just stopping for hooks by throwing an Ima Little Stick in Sexy Minnow into my shopping basket.  I just had a lot of luck with it last year and will throw that as soon as the water warms up a tad more.

I struggle with post-spawn for some reason. ....or, maybe it's not really a "struggle", so much as just does not seem as productive as in the pre-spawn or the following "summer peak".

 

What I find most successful are (1) soft jerkbaits like a fluke, fished weightless, and (2) wacky worms, and (3) poppers, propbaits and floating minnows, twitched, popped, ripped on top with pauses.

Jig and craw. Buzzbait and a hollow body frog

Fluke
